If you can get them to install Passenger, that would solve the whole Rails 3 issue and put them on a more modern stack. I suspect they may not be willing to do that, though. Another alternative worth considering would be Amazon's EC2 - you can get a "micro" instance in Ireland for $18.00/month (plus storage and bandwidth) that has 600MB+ of RAM and a decent CPU. I'm currently evaluating EC2 for moving a bunch of my company's servers off of Rackspace / Slicehost, and so far it looks pretty competitive. Not sure if the billing will be to your liking (I believe they only do US$, but I haven't done much digging), but it is monthly and usage-based. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
